I agree. And as a non-artist I don't really have problem with the music that's available. There's soo much more of it. If you only like indie chick folk pop rock, there's tons of it out there. You never have to go outside your genre. There really is great music out there. You just have to look.

I think a lot of people don't like the fact that their favorite isn't everyone's favorite. The same as gear choices. Just get the fortitude to not care what everyone else likes.

And as an Artist you have the choice too. Sell out or pave your own path. It may be harder but it will be more rewarding.
